Here Ya Go

Okay real update as promised. I have so much to tell y’all. I’ve been gone for what a month almost? What do you want the god or the bad first? Let’s just do the bad so I can get it out of the way.

Ready?

My Mom has uterine cancer. Actually she has tumors all over her abdomen. There will be two doctors doing her hysterectomy, a gynecologist and a gastro-interologist. You see from the CAT scan no one could tell if the tumors were being formed by her uterus and pushed out onto her intestines or if it was the intestines creating all the tumors and pushing them out onto her uterus and ovaries. It doesn’t matter tough, she is have a complete hysterectomy. No more menopause for Mom. I guess that is a plus.

Have I mentioned that I am scared to death for her? Do I even have to? I feel like her death warrant has been signed. You want the list of problems she already has? Here, she has diabetes, IBS, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, microscopic lymphatic colitis, diverticulosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, BPD, OCD, and seizures. Most of them aren’t major. I was always happy when we got some small diagnosis. Every doctor would give her a new pill and we were done with it. Did you know that my mom was taking over 20 different medications a day? She was, but her neurologist has since removed some because of the seizures.

Oh, yeah, that’s another story. She finally made it to the neurologist to find out why she has seizures. She doesn’t have epilepsy or any kind of seizure disorder for that matter. She has pseudo-seizures from a chemical imbalance in her brain. Yeah, its new to me too. They took her off of the Dilantin, which was supposed to control all seizures, and off of her Gabitril, which has been known to cause seizures in some people. That would have been good to know a while back, maybe, you think?

Um… I think that is all the bad for now. Nope. Mom and Dad had to push up selling their house and moving in with Granny. Termites are taking over part of the house. The don’t have the money to have all the repairs made where the termites are destroying wood. And its just not worth it to them anymore. The house has become more of a hassle than a place to live.

Oh I hope that’s it. Its depressing and I’m tired of whining. I’m glad to be back though. I need a place to whine and people to whine to. Pathetic I know, but it is what it is.

We are in our new apartment. Its wonderful. Joseph loves the freedom to run naked anytime he wants. I like rubbing in that he only has a little while longer and the Doll will be to old to see that shit. I don’t want her scared of Daddy because the hairball needs to feel the wind between his legs. Such a freak. When I get a new camera I’ll overwhelm y’all with pictures, I promise.

Doll is trying to walk. She makes me nervous. The most steps at once were four. I was so happy that I think I scared her. She won’t do it when someone else holds her and I try to get her to come to me. She act like a rag dolls and flops on the ground. Funny, but not very productive.

She likes having her own room. She can go play and come back to me when she needs reassurance or some snuggles. Its great. I’m looking for a crib. Its time to get her into her own bed. Mommy and Daddy need some private time ands its not happening with her in the bed. I guess I could use Ebay, but I’ve never done it before. I’m afraid of getting fucked over.

Oh well, that’s enough for now. I’m trying to get around to all of my favorites. I’ve missed out on so much. I can’t believe that Not.Who.U.Think is pregnant again. I was floored when I read that. You are a lucky woman. I promise I’ll get to you all someday. 

Y’all take care and hug those babies tight.
